California Road Trip - Day 3 Cupertino, Palo Alto and Stanford

We had breakfast at a proper American diner called Bobbie's



We shared a Monster scramble and a bowl of Chill soup with raw onion and cheese.  
I really enjoyed Monster scramble -which is a hash brown with bits of bacon, sausage, ham, pepper, onions and egg, topped with some cheese.
Love it :)

We then went to Nordstrom rack to do some major shopping.  Things were so cheap!  
It's a bit like TK Maxx here but tidier and with better products and bigger/proper discounts!


For dinner, we went to Mayfield at Palo Alto for dinner

The food was good - made from fresh produce.
Everything perfectly cooked 
It was very packed so remember to make a reservation

Golden Potato Gnocchi, Brussels Sprouts, Gorgonzola, Candied Walnuts
Crispy outside, soft and pillowy inside.

Pan-Seared Diver Scallops

Almond Wood-Grilled Bavette Steak

Braised Short Rib with Creamy Polenta and roast veg


Warm Beignets, Strawberry Jam

 Homemade Pie - Apple and blackberry

We were so full that we needed a little stroll after the dinner. 
We walked around Stanford university.  The chapel is stunning
